Ingredients

Mozzarella Cheese Sticks

Preparation

Preparation and Cooking

1. Prepare the Cheese Sticks

Take the mozzarella cheese sticks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

2. Set up the Breading Station

In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second bowl, and combine breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third bowl.

3. Bread the Cheese Sticks

Coat each mozzarella stick in flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.

4. Chill the Breaded Sticks

Place the breaded cheese sticks on a baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help the breading adhere.

5. Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6. Fry the Cheese Sticks

Carefully add the chilled cheese sticks to the hot oil, frying them in batches if necessary, until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

7. Drain and Serve

Use a slotted spoon to remove the cheese sticks from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with hot pizza sauce for dipping.
